Mrs. Hammond

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Team Determination! This will be my 15th year of teaching and I am just as excited to get started as I was in my first year.

A little about me...
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education from Lebanon Valley College, and a Master's Degree as a Reading Specialist from York College. I spent my first 7 years in education as a fifth grade learning support teacher at York Township Elementary. When DAIS opened in 2010, I jumped at the chance to teach language arts because inspiring kids to be readers and writers is what I am most passionate about.

When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my husband and our two kids, Lacey (age 6) and Tyler (age 9). We like to be outside as much as possible! I also love to read, write, drink coffee, and run.
